because big government is not the answer

I know, I know. It’s Friday and I’m in a really good mood, too. Nevertheless, the following documentary which goes undercover in to some of the mosques in the UK isn’t something that should be ignored, especially in light of the recent worldwide and homegrown protests we’ve seen that coincided with the 11th anniversary of 9/11.

A teaser: Check out 12:18. He was quoted out of context!

Sure, it’s a minority and all that – namely the Wahabists coming out of Saudi Arabia – however it is a significant minority.

The writing had been on the wall for months – around a year and a half – and yet Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State for the Obama administration expresses surprise.

Pathetic.

And again, the question begs: why didn’t that Embassy have Marine protection??? This is as much an indictment on the Obama administration as it is on Islamic terrorism (19,592 deadly Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11 and counting JFTR…)

UPDATE

Have a squiz around the internet and we know that shitty video was made by some anonymous charlatan. We know the violence didn’t happen until after it was found, translated, and “promoted” by some Egyptian sheik. We know abhorrent violence has been ignited in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Iran.

So what can we deduce from this?

Simple. Those guys over there really hate our guts. Essentially, the Islamic world hates the West.

How can any form of appeasement or compromise possibly work when all it takes is a crap video, and our guys get their corpses paraded around the streets?

The strongly-worded editorial, which was published on Tuesday in the People’s Daily – mouthpiece of China’s ruling Communist party – came after Beijing said it was “deeply shocked” by the strikes, which have exacerbated tensions between Islamabad and Washington.

“The United States and NATO have violated international law and international norms,” the paper said in an editorial condemning the attacks.

“This shows… that at crucial moments, the United States will not show the slightest hesitation to violate the sovereignty of another nation to ensure its ‘absolute security’.”

And on and on it went without the slightest hint of irony (irony considering China sells missile technology to Iran which in turn gives the missiles to terrorist groups such as Hizbollah).

Nice going on the War on Terror there, China.

And besides, it’s likely that the US did not instigate the bungled attack.

Oh, yeah. Thaaaaat helicopter; you know, the one that was used to get the world’s most wanted man, Osama bin Laden, who had been “hiding out” in a compound just outside Pakistan’s capital for about 10 long years.

All told?

China and Pakistan need to STFU.

UPDATE

More on the strained US-Pakistan relationship. The alternative is worse.

They run businesses, use mobile phones to preach sermons to followers outside and dominate prison mosques, says a report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

In Jihadists in Jail, Carl Ungerer paints a picture of terrorists manipulating the prison system and displaying a disturbing degree of freedom of movement.

This has substantial operational consequences that have strengthened the terrorist threat, producing friendships and alliances among terrorists that cross over traditional organisational lines.

For example, members of previously hostile groups, such as Jemaah Islamiah and Darul Islam, are co-operating with each other in the pursuit of jihad.

I’m sorry. But I find it a total insult to be labeled incompassionate or racist or whatever just because I value the safety of my friends, family and everyone else back in Australia. To quickly release people who have come from Indonesia, people with no documentation – indeed those who’ve literally thrown it away – into our communities and even into our schools, especially when we have grown men of unknown background posing as children amongst those, is wrong, wrong, wrong.

This is not about compassion for refugees Bill Shorten or Anna Rose. It’s about responsibility and whilst you may well have the former, you most certainly do not have the latter.

Like this:

The problem is, American’s don’t want to go “all the way” with the TSA. They’d rather go “all the way” with their spouse or lover. And ask any dad, and he doesn’t want his teenage daughter or infant son going “all the way” at all.

The last few days has seen things erupt over there. Being America, naturally lawsuits are flying left, right and centre. There have been punch-ups, and the pollies are getting in on the action, too.

But, geez, I dunno America. When you have nutbags flying planes into buildings or trying to blow up the plane mid-air, how’s the government meant to respond? It’s no surprise they are holding firm on this one.

If they relented, and a terrorist strike occurred that could have been prevented with the new measures, what would people say then?

For sure, it’s a far-from-ideal situation, and yes, there should be better intelligence, but what would people have the feds do?
